Oh drat and curses.

Change all -I$(srctree) in Makefiles to -I$(objtree).
New (full) patch file with only that change is below.
I can send a patch with only those changes if you prefer that.

Cross-build using O= works now.

From: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com>

Currently source files in the Documentation/ sub-dir can easily bit-rot
since they are not generally buildable, either because they are hidden
in text files or because there are no Makefile rules for them.
This needs to be fixed so that the source files remain usable and good
examples of code instead of bad examples.

Add the ability to build source files that are in the Documentation/ dir.
Add to Kconfig as "BUILD_DOCSRC" config symbol.

Use "CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC=1 make ..." to build objects from the
Documentation/ sources. Or enable BUILD_DOCSRC in the *config system.

The Makefiles use $objdir/usr/include for header files, so doing
"make headers_install" is required. This is done for you if you enable
CONFIG_HEADERS_CHECK=y.

Note: needs documentation-move-spidev_fdx-example-to-its-own-source-file.patch
from -mm patchset.
